Sleaford Mods - s/t 12" / CD EP in stores Sept 14

14 September 2018

Sleaford Mods are pleased to announce their new EP, Sleaford Mods, released via Rough Trade
Records on September 14th 2018. The EP will be available on UK import 12”, CD & DL.
This is the band’s first new music since last year’s critically acclaimed album English Tapas. The EP
was recorded Spring 2018 in Nottingham, and features five brand new tracks including lead single, “Stick
in a Five & Go.”
Jason Williamson says about the new songs: “The lead tracks are mostly full of violent tendencies that
only transpire through imagination. People are powerless under the political monster and the intense
anger and frustration morphs into illusions of attacking each other through the bravado of social media,
depression and paranoia.”

British hip-hop/punk act Sleaford Mods began in 2006 as the recording project of Nottingham vocalist and
musician Jason Williamson. The initial seed of the band’s aggressive, no-nonsense, blue-collar sound
was worked out by Williamson over the first couple of years both in the studio and at occasional gigs,
where he would rap over prerecorded beats and samples. Joining forces with Andrew Fearn, a veteran
musician, in 2010, Fearn took on most of the backing tracks, freeing up Williamson to further evolve as a
vocalist and lyricist. Their first recorded collaboration was on the CD-R release Wank, which appeared in
2012.
A prominent festival appearance led to their signing with the abstract punk label Harbinger Sound, which
released Sleaford Mods’ 2013 album, Austerity Dogs, their first proper label release and first to receive
widespread distribution. Further releases led to a deal with Rough Trade and the label debut T.C.R.
followed by the English Tapas full length in 2017.
